The Adluh Flour building is currently undergoing a historic renovation by Studio2LR and Hood Construction.

This is a construction site, therefore proper construction attire should be worn for this meeting (hard hats & closed toed shoes).

The only on-site parking is on the east side of the building – we highly recommend walking if possible or carpooling with other coworkers from your office.

We all know that there is limited parking in the Vista.

Please meet the group on the left side off the building before going into the site.

We will begin the meeting in the second floor space and cover the minutes from last year’s meeting, a review of this year’s achievements,

and followed by elections for the 2015 AIAGC Executive Board before moving into the building tour and lunch.

We would also like to thank several board members who will be rolling off of the active board.

Michael spearheaded our service to the Department of Education in the creation of an architectural curriculum for the public schools of South Carolina. Also leaving us is Chris Beard, AIA who has served as our Continuing Education liaison. In addition to tracking and submitting AIA credits for each of our tours and educational events, Chris led this year’s, “Food For Thought” event. Both of these members of our board will be greatly missed and we are enormously grateful for their time and talent given to this board and our membership.
